I'm still a bit flummoxed by this idea. I'm imagining being in a sphere of this material, arranged so that I can see what's outside, but people on the outside can't see me.

Yeah. I'd LOVE to see this. But one thing I respect about Pixar is that they only do a sequel if they feel they've got a story to tell. So When Incredibles 2 happens someday, it won't suck.

Clooney CAN do that. He's just usually called upon to play one of two different kinds of role: the George Clooney Guy, or the Parody Of George Clooney Guy. (Or, in the case of the Ocean's movies, both at the same time.)

I wish I could promote this entire conversation.

Here's one that's saved me lots of time: If you need to type a lot of separate text areas and don't want to keep switching to another tool and back to the text tool, use Command+Return (Control+Return in Windows) to stop typing in the current text area while keeping the text tool selected.

I don't think a movie would be the best call. With the rise of quality shows on cable, HBO or Showtime could create a proper miniseries, with current effects. NBC's problem apart from the effects is that they just didn't know how to tell these stories effectively, and were (I think) afraid to let Bradbury be Bradbury.

Most science fiction confronts us with the future Start Trek, for example, isn't really a view of what life will be like hundreds of years in the future, because society and people are essentially the same as they are today. Instead, Trek is what the world might be like if we woke up tomorrow and found that we had…

Hey, did you guys hear that there's a new Ubuntu Beta? :-)

I have twin boys who are 5. We've watched five of the six Star Wars films (I won't let them watch Episode III yet, and we skip the darker stuff on Tattooine in II). This means they don't realize that Anakin becomes Darth Vader, which is actually okay, as I'm not quite sure how to take that on yet.

Man, I had nightmares about that one from the Twilight Zone.

Damn! Beat me to it.

Wow, this looks far worse than I expected. And my expectations were pretty low to begin with.

As long as they clear out the moonbats first.

I'm pretty sure the Falcon has already appeared in the background as an Easter Egg. Not Han though, at least until some storyline takes us to Corellia.

I was going to point that out as well. Chewbacca's growls are mostly bear cub, distorted and augmented with other stuff.

This is one of my favorite films as well. If you can watch the scene where they try to revive Lindsey without tearing up, you're made of harder stuff than I.

It's actually a modernization of Robinson Crusoe. I remember commenting on this very blog a while back that I'd love to see this novel filmed. It will be tough to pull off though.
